About Wheatus
Formed in 1995, Wheatus is an alternative rock band fronted by Brendan B. Brown.
â âTeenage Dirtbag,â their signature song and first single, was a global hit, going two-times Platinum in the UK and hitting No. 82 on Australian station Triple Jâs Hottest 100 of 20 Years list.
â The chorus to âTeenage Dirtbagâ paid tribute to Iron Maiden, whose singer, Bruce Dickinson, returned the favor by appearing on 2002âs âWannabe Gangstar.â
â In 2003 the band left Columbia Records to start their label, Montauk Mantis, and have been releasing material on their own ever since.
â Soul Coughingâs Mike Doughty invited Wheatus to be his backing band in 2019 to re-create the album Ruby Vroom live.
â Wheatus embarked on their first world tour in 20 years in 2019, doing two sets each night: one with the bandâs current lineup and another with the original members.
